This Week in Ladybird #1

Well hello friends! I've decided to start a This Week in Ladybird blog post series, a format you may already know from various other open source projects.

This will be in addition to my (almost-)monthly LibWeb/LibJS/Browser segment in our update videos, where I often have to exclude changes that are a little bit more technical or cannot be demo'd on camera very well.

The plan is to include all of these here once a week, both as a summarized list and briefly going into detail where I think it's warranted.

I'll of course be posting a link to each new post on Mastodon so follow me there if you want to get notified, or subscribe to this site's atom feed if that's your thing!

After I recently changed checkbox painting from a bespoke implementation to a few lines of CSS in the user agent stylesheet, it's now changed back to a C++ implementation using SDFs to support seamless scaling and color theming, including via the accent-color CSS property!

Previously we only supported the two obvious checkbox states, now the indeterminate checkbox state can be rendered as well! This was first implemented on top of the old checkbox style and later adopted by MacDue to use the new style (see above).
